title: 99mTc-MDP uptake in implantation metastasis of gastric cancer: the additional value of SPECT/CT.
abstract: A 47-year-old woman with a history of subtotal gastrectomy due to gastric cancer underwent bone scintigraphy to evaluate possible recurrent disease. The whole-body images revealed a single focus of elevated 99mTc-MDP activity in the right pubic region, which was located in the intrapelvic soft tissue on subsequent SPECT/CT images. Pathological examination after needle biopsy demonstrated that the soft tissue was an implantation metastasis from gastric cancer.
